These are the instructions from Atwood on how to flush your water heater:

FLUSHING YOUR WATER HEATER TO REMOVE UNPLEASANT ODOR:
Hydrogen Sulfide can result when the protective cladding on the
interior of the tank is doing its job by preventing corrosion and
therefore premature tank failure. The electro galvanic action of the
cladding material releases hydrogen from the water. If sulfur or any
of its’ combinations are present in the water the two will combine
and produce hydrogen sulfide. This compound produces the “rotten
egg odor”. Hydrogen sulfide can also be present in your fresh
water supply. It is the product of the decay of animal matter and
as little as 1 mg/liter can cause a perceptible odor. Smell the water
before starting the flushing procedure. If your fresh water has the
rotten egg odor you will need to find another source of fresh water
before flushing and refilling the entire water storage system.
See Flushing Instructions and use four parts vinegar mixed with
two parts water to flush tank.
If you use your vehicle frequently or for long periods of time, flushing
the water heater several times a year will prolong the life of the
storage tank.

TO FLUSH THE TANK:
a. Turn off the water supply.
b. Open a hot water faucet or pressure-temperature relief valve.
c. Open drain valve and allow water to run until it stops.
d. Turn the water supply on for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes with the drain
valve open. Let the water flow until it stops.
e. Repeat step “d” above until water from the drain valve runs
clear (no lime or sediment).
f. Close the drain valve and turn on the water supply until water
runs out a hot water faucet. Any problems, contact your dealer,
an Atwood Service Station, or Atwood Service Department.
